French term or phrase: faire bon poids
"Plus sérieusement, l’histoire de la construction communautaire et l’élargissement de 2004 n’ont pas cessé de contourner le citoyen. A l’image d’un boomerang, la campagne française a montré ce qu’il en coûte parfois. Et les Néerlandais en ont rajouté une couche pour "faire bon poids."

Kan even niets verzinnen. Heeft iemand een idee?
